Single Cirpy 5o untberry takes close look titi.s annexation options Ata special meeting last week, members of Turnberry council took a close look at what they might be willing to give up in annexation proceedings with Wingham — and what they might want in return. Although no decision was made at last week's meeting, council appears willing to consider allow- ing the town to annex township lands to the east and possibly some Lower Town parkland. What it wants in return is to be able to retain 500 feet of commercial property to the east, as well as out- let for sewer and water hook-up for township industrial lands near Wingham's northwest corner. Representatives of town council met with Turnberry council early in May to make an annexation pro- posal. However, Turnberry has received nothing in writing from the town since that meeting. What town representatives pro- posed at that time was annexing: 100 acres of Turnberry land to the east for residential development; sgine+1.1.4jn1--91nr.

Reeve Brian McBurney and Deputy Reeve Nelson Underwood both said they did not favor giving up any industrial land in the town- ship. In response to the argument that the foundry needs land to expand its operation, Mr. McBurney said he had spoken to foundry owner Richard LeVan about that very issue. If he did want to expand the operation, Mr. McBurney reported Mr. LeVan as saying, he could just as easily expand into Turnberry. Although Councillors John Cox and Mery Baker both said they felt it wiiuld make more sense if the foundry operation were located all within one municipality, Mr. McBurney and Mr. Underwood claimed it would not make much difference. "I don't see why we need to give up (industrial) property," said Mr. RECEIVES AWARD Jan McInnis of RR 1, Wing - ham, has graduated from John Robots School for the Deaf and Hard44_ *leaning.

Finally, after some fuOher discus- sion, council membeil proposed offering a strip of property east of Wingham to the B-line, except :for 500 feet along Highway 86 to be kept by the township for highway - commercial development; For discussion purposes, they also proposed offering a parcel in Lower Town from the Maitland River along Helena Street to Patrick Street in exchange for sewer outlet to Turnberry properties along North and Arthur streets. "Let's try to be fair — but get the best for the township;" suggested Mr. Cox. Turnberry still awaits notification in writing of the town's proposal. Township council may also hold a meeting with its lawyer before sit- ting down with town representa- tives again. .04 Ix ainbulance picks up patient An Ontario Ministry of Health air ambulance arrived in Wingham last Tuesday evening shortly after six o'clock.
